Why these tags

Surfing

From the sources

“Gubat is slowly being recognized as the only beginner friendly surfing spot in the province of Sorsogon.”

“(GSSA) headed by Bidge Villarroya, is also performing well in the National Surf Competition Scene, winning several national surf championships and numerous finalist positions.”

Festivals

From the sources

“The town celebrates its Ginubat Festival annually every June 1–13 in honor of its patron, St. Anthony of Padua.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
